Fanfiction Statistics

I’m declaring myself tagged because it seems like a fun way to warm up my brain on a drizzly day. I’m using AO3 only because LJ does not have a way to count comments per post, apparently. Which is too bad because good comment-conversations happen more on my LJ page than AO3.

Tractors turning the multiple furrows in the vacant landZea, a thoughtful, observant combine driver in District Nine, comes across a copy of The Grapes of Wrath in a falling-down barn on the edge of the Flint Hills, and it’s one more thing that pushes her into the less-glamourous side of the rebellion: the one where ordinary people take extraordinary risks to bring down the Capitol. I’m working on the sequel now.

Apparently, if you want attention in Hunger Games fandom you write Finnick. It’s also interesting to me that the one Star Wars story I have on AO3 has a kudos/hits ratio of 0.2, while the other two top-kudos stories are 0.1 and 0.09 respectively. Not to mention COMMENT GUYS PLEASE?

My top 3 crossover fanfics:I don’t have any posted on AO3, there’s a couple comment-fics and tumblr prompt-fills floating around that are HGs characters at Hogwarts ^^

My favorite character to write in fanfic:

This is like asking which child is my favorite! How am I supposed to choose! I like Zea’s POV even though it’s a bitch to write, because it’s very...thoughtful? I like Sara (Rokia’s (girl)friend) because she’s very Gryffindor firey and yet super practical. Rokia is great because she’s my first so I love her--and she’s prickly as hell but she cares a lot about Her People.

Canon characters it’s Johanna probably. She’s so raw and unfiltered that it can be very cathartic. I don’t do things from her POV that often though because honestly it usually fucks me up for hours afterwards. Finnick’s easier to write because he is very good at compartmentalizing the awful--which is also why Johanna got her family killed and Finnick didn’t.

Bonus round! A fic you love that isn’t listed above:

This actually covered most of my favorites, but I’ll say What we do to get by, because it’s the first Johanna-POV thing I wrote (on Christmas Eve, WOW was that inappropriate timing). I like it because I think it catches the desperation of needing to make something stop hurting. Even if you know what you’re doing is a terrible idea and won’t work for very long.
